Ahoy, on board!
In a land where fishing was a way of life, Escaroupim emerges as a pearl of avian traditions. The old fishermen used to migrate seasonally from the region of Vieira de Leiria, exchanging the agitated sea for the calm and welcoming Tagus River. It is amazing how these communities found here a refuge that overflows with history, culture, and an intimate connection with the waters of this legendary river.
In the fishing villages of Escaroupim, one feels enveloped by the authenticity and charm of the place.
The fishermen, with their nets and boats, weave millenary stories of tradition and simplicity. And as we navigate through the current, we spot horses in freedom, running along the banks and islands, as if celebrating freedom and a deep connection with nature.
Fauna
Today, as we navigate the serene waters of the Tagus, the fauna surprises us with every click of the camera.
Don’t be surprised if you spot the elegant grey heron peeping timidly from among the reed beds, or if an imposing kite flies majestically overhead.
Fish eagles also make their presence felt, dominating the skies with their imposing grace.
Storks, spoonbills, black islets, and ducks fly gracefully through the skies or feed on the river banks. And if you are lucky, you may even spot a flock of pink flamingos, creating a colorful spectacle that will brighten your day.
The biodiversity of these waters is truly remarkable, guaranteeing us unique photographic encounters with wildlife.
Flora
What about the exuberant flora that surrounds us? The reeds ripple to the gentle rhythm of the current, while wild flowers peek out from among the riverside vegetation, drawing a picture of dazzling colors.
The hanging willows seem to dance to the rhythm of the wind, while colorful water lilies create a vibrant palette in the tranquil waters of the river. It is a true paradise for photography lovers, where every click captures the magic of nature in all its glory.
You will be able to photograph the verdant banks dotted with century-old trees, providing refreshing shade on hot summer days. Nature seems to be smiling down on us, inviting us to capture every moment with our lenses.
